Surely we are encouraging them to ask questions about the world and the way it is constructed, use their imaginations, make predictions, think about decisions and above all else find enjoyment in reading. This is one of the big drawbacks of high stakes testing – the fact that it is all that teachers, parents and students become focussed on. There is more to life than testing and this is the message that
needs to be conveyed to your county’s leaders!
A teacher who believes in the power of books in the lives of her students.
